|||
| Kratos General Microwave has developed series HPS900 line of High Power SP3T switches for various applications. These switches operate in the IFF and L bands, providing Power handling capability of up to 1kW in cold switching.. Typically these switches are assembled in a multi-switch assembly. The number of switches in one sub-assembly depends upon the specific architecture of the system. The control and supply voltages to the switch sub-assembly is supplied via a multi-pin connector. |
